Cabinet of Delkora

The Cabinet of Delkora constitutes the federal government of the Kingdom of Delkora. Established in 1833, it has undergone numerous changes and reorganizations throughout its history. At present, it consists of 18 ministers representing the federal ministries of Delkora and is chaired by the Chancellor. The current Cabinet is led by Chancellor Adric Azengaard and was convened following the 2018 Federal Election. It consists of the Liberal Party, National Labor, and the Green Party.

Formation

After being appointed following a federal election, the chancellor nominates minister candidates. The nominees are then formally appointed by the monarch and do not require separate parliamentary votes. Cabinet ministers are individually and collectively responsible to the Chamber of Representatives, which can oust the entire Cabinet or individual ministers through votes of no confidence. In the event of the chancellor losing a confidence vote, the entire Cabinet is obligated to resign.

Ministers are expected to publicly support the government agenda. In the event of a major policy disagreement, a minister will usually offer their resignation or be asked to resign by the Chancellor.

Function

The Cabinet serves as the executive branch of the Delkoran government and is responsible for enacting federal laws and managing federal ministries. It operates according to the principle of ministerial autonomy, with the Chancellor seen as the first among equals and individual ministers generally having a high degree of independence. Delkoran law specifies that Cabinet ministers set general policy guidelines, but are strictly prohibited from intervening in the actual decision-making processes of the agencies under their jurisdiction.

The Cabinet typically meets every Wednesday at the Chancellery Building in Norenstal. Under the Delkoran Constitution, ministers are required to make themselves available for weekly government questions from the Chamber of Representatives and produce any information or documents requested by Parliament.
